The Dominican airline, Arajet , is preparing to launch its cargo division , a move that seeks to complement the profitability of its passenger network, take advantage of the capacity of its growing Boeing 737 MAX fleet and strengthen logistical connectivity between Mexico, the Dominican Republic and South America.
Manuel Luna, Chief Communication Officer & External Affairs of the company, indicates in an interview that in this segment there is an opportunity to diversify income , optimize the use of its aircraft and respond to a growing logistical demand in the region.
Having recently received the necessary authorizations to operate cargo, the company plans to begin this new phase during the second quarter of next year.
“We are about to begin the permitting process in the countries where we fly, and in 2027 we will add cargo in Mexico. Cargo is extremely profitable, and there are flights during the off-season with low passenger occupancy; however, cargo continues to move at the same rate, and that helps to compensate,” he explains.
This move is especially significant for Mexico, one of Arajet’s three most important markets . The airline currently operates routes between Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) and destinations such as Santo Domingo and Punta Cana, links that could potentially become channels for the movement of goods between the two countries and for connections with other nations in the future.
